See: Five Seven Designs

Five Seven Designs have introduced the new 2020 Prodigy Short Course kit. The 2020 Prodigy full kit comes with updated chassis geometry, front shock and camber link mounting options and a fully updated transmission. The new chassis allows us to get to minimum wheelbase giving the cars more corner entry without losing forward drive. New front shock tower now allows to mount the camber links to the tower. The all-new transmission is provided with a Team Associated gear diff considered as one of the best on the market for tunability. Steel top shaft and idler gear allow for the transmission to still be really strong and hold up to the demands of SC racing while the rear camber links are now mounted to a billet aluminum mount to add strength and ease of adjustment.
